38. Background

Mrs. Ke seems to be soft and weak on the outside, but she is also a heroic and strange woman.

The ancestors of the Ke family had General Ke, who made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and by the time Mrs. Ke's father's generation arrived, most of the children and grandchildren had been in literature. There is also the blood of the daughter of Jiangmen in her bones.

"Mother, I'll have a drink with you."

A small glass, not much, Yuan Lingchao smelled the aroma of wine, the gluttonous worms in his stomach were aroused, his mouth was very greedy, and he directly dried the glass of wine in one go.

Tut-tut, the taste is really good, although it is not as good as all kinds of modern wines, but the peach blossom wine is well-made, hidden for a long time, mellow and fragrant.

"Xiao Ai is very me."

The British man touched his beard with a smile. The three granddaughters, the eldest granddaughter, do not change their face when drinking, and the other two granddaughters are not strong enough to drink and are easy to get drunk.

Yuan Xiao and Mrs. Guo did not return home, and the two of them had something to do outside and could not come back.

Yuan Lingyi and Yuan Lingyan saw Yuan Lingchao drinking freely, and couldn't help but be envious, "Sister, your amount of alcohol is better than ours." ”

"The amount of alcohol is innate," Yuan Lingchao was a little proud, "I, ah, inherited the good amount of alcohol from my grandfather and father." ”

"Hahaha......" Yuan Zhaole was overwhelmed, "Fengxian believes in them, they are not as good as your drinking." ”

Yuan Fengxian Yuan Fengxin is a military general, and the amount of alcohol is okay, but Yuan Fengxian is not good, which may also be related to the fact that he is relatively young, and he is a military advisor, and he is not as tough as his brothers and sisters.

"The eldest brother can't drink three cups of me, the second brother can't drink five cups of me, and the third brother has no reference value."

Yuan Lingchao pursed his lips.

and Yuan Fengxian fought for wine, and the wine was drunk by her, Yuan Fengxin and Yuan Fengxian were forgotten, and the two children needed to be improved.

"If Xiao Ai is a man, maybe he is also a tiger general of the Yuan family."

The British Duke said with a little regret. The granddaughter is good, very good, it's just not that a man can't go to the battlefield to make a contribution.

Yuan Lingchao disagreed, "Grandpa, if you have a will, you can do it, although I am a woman, I have the ambition to serve the country loyally." Grandpa, don't underestimate me. ”

Are you kidding? Is it a man or a woman who influences her to play? The feudal era did not allow her to shine, but it did not mean that she would sit still.

Anyway, the daughters of the Yuan family are not all noble daughters.

was refuted by his granddaughter, and the British public patted his head, "Yes, yes, yes, it's grandpa who underestimates and loves him." ”

The female general of the Yuan family is also a member of the Yuan family, how can he erase it?

Yuan Lingyi was thoughtful, Yuan Lingchao's conversation with the British Duke seemed to be careless, but she only felt that Yuan Lingchao did it intentionally.

Yuan Lingchao is now Yaoguanghou, the first member of the Yuan family, if she wants to do something, it seems that she can't do it.

"Daddy, I think Xiao Ai is very good, no worse than a boy." Yuan Wanyin gave Yuan Lingchao a help, and said with words, "Daddy, my mother was also a strange woman praised by everyone back then, shouldn't you forget it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the lively atmosphere in the hall froze, and Yuan Lingchao put down the dishes and chopsticks and did not speak.

Yuan Wanyin is not the daughter born to a British duchess, she is the daughter of the British duchess who was picked up outside and claimed to be his own daughter who was out all night away, her mother is dead, and she wants him to raise her daughter.

In this regard, the British duchess was reluctant to accept the facts at first, but later, for some reason, she suddenly accepted Yuan Wanyin and treated her like a daughter, with great enthusiasm.

It's not that there has been no legend before that the British duchess wanted to reconcile and leave, who made the British duchess inexplicably appear a concubine when she was old? The British duchess has been arrogant all her life, why is she willing to pinch her nose and accept it?

The British duchess made a lot of noise, and during that time, the Guogong Mansion was jumping and almost falling apart, and even the three brothers Yuan Xiao and Yuan Yin couldn't see it, and the British duchess did not do this very well.

The British duchess waited for Yuan Wanyin to change her attitude overnight, Yuan Lingchao didn't think much about it before, but now she thinks, is there something else?

The British duchess has always been in love with the British duchess, promising not to take a concubine, she is the only one in her life, and she has no children, she is a loving couple that everyone envies, and there is a Yuan Wanyin behind her, no wonder the strong British duchess refuses to accept it, and insists on leaving.

"Your mother cherished you very much when she was alive, and she asked me to take good care of you before leaving."

The British Duke was both stunned and nostalgic. British Duchess Bai, sassy and heroic, is the love of his life, after Yuan Wanyin's incident came out, Mrs. Bai was not as good as before, she would accept Yuan Wanyin, and it was after he took the initiative to talk about some things that he was willing to take care of Yuan Wanyin.

Don't blame him for bringing back Yuan Wanyin quietly, and refusing to tell the truth, there are some things that only he knows.

Wanyin, your mother does love you very much, no matter who it is.

"Mother, she's really good to me." Yuan Wanyin said frankly.

She is not Madame Bai's biological child, and the reason why Madame Bai didn't want to accept her at first was because of her father's promise never to take a concubine.

Her appearance ruined the family of the White Lady. She was willing to take care of her, as if she were her own, and she was already the greatest and best mother in the world. The biological mother who died after birth may not be as good as Mrs. Bai's status in her heart.

The British Duke put down his glass, "Wanyin, you come to me in the evening, I have something to say to you." ”

At this time, he also had to tell Yuan Wanyin the truth. Before Mrs. Bai died, she repeatedly explained to him that she must ensure that Yuan Wanyin is safe for the rest of her life, and she must also let her know her life experience.

Yuan Wanyin thought it was just an ordinary father-daughter conversation, and without thinking too much, she responded: "Okay, I'll go after eating." ”

"Come on, come on, hurry up and eat this plate of crispy meat." Mrs. Ke warmly welcomed everyone to eat and drink, "The crispy meat was only shipped here today, and it is very fresh. ”

"Wow!" Yuan Wanyin looked at the table full of meals that she loved to eat, and was moved in her heart, "Brother, sister-in-law, Xiaoai, Lingyi Lingyan, you should also eat while it is hot." ”

"Good!"

The hall meetings at the British Mansion were generally successful and pleasant.

After being full of wine and food, Yuan Lingchao and Yuan Lingyi and Yuan Lingyan went to their respective courtyards to do their own things.

And Mrs. Yuan Zhaoke went to tidy up here first, and then went down to rest.

Yuan Wanyin wanted to help, but was politely declined by Mrs. Ke, "Wanyin, didn't Daddy just ask you to find him after dinner?" Hurry up and go. ”

“…… Good. For some reason, Yuan Wanyin was quite uneasy.

It's strange, she didn't have anything big happening, in her own home, why was she panicked?

Yuan Wanyin went to Ling Tianyuan, the courtyard where the British public lived alone.

Since the death of Madame Bai, the British Duke moved out of Shuang'an Garden, the courtyard where the husband and wife lived together at the beginning, and came to Ling Tianyuan to live alone, seemingly deliberately escaping reality, which was the beginning of his good memories with Madame Bai.

The departure of the White Lady was a heavy blow to the British duke.

It's not the first time Yuan Wanyin has come here, the scenery here is the same as in the past, no different, the flowers and plants are abundant, the trees are verdant, and the cold wind blows across the cheeks, which is a little biting. Autumn is thick, the leaves of the courtyard are half yellow and half green, and the years are like flowing water, passing quietly, coming and going in a hurry.

Yuan Wanyin walked into the inner courtyard of the British Mansion. From the arch to the corridor, the natural mountain stones, the exquisite murals, the heritage of the Guogong Mansion is clear at a glance.

"Evening groan."

When Yuan Wan arrived, the British Duke smiled and beckoned her to sit down.

In the study, the little maid who was waiting had already left, leaving only Yuan Wanyin and the British duke.

Yuan Wanyin moved her lips, she wanted to ask something, but she couldn't ask She felt that it might not be easy for the British Duke to find her.

"Child, Wan Yin, I have called this name for fifteen years, in the blink of an eye, you are a big girl of twenty and three, I am already old, some words are no longer spoken, no one will know."

The British public chattered, not at all like he used to be.

Yuan Wanyin was about to speak, and the British Duke had already begun to tell Yuan Wanyin's untold story.

"Once upon a time there was a girl, she was beautiful and beautiful, the country was beautiful and fragrant, attracting the favor and love of the people of the world, and she was born in a mysterious tribe, the people of this tribe are rumored to be immortal, the beauty of women, the handsomeness of men, the marriage of generations of internal marriage, is a magical tribe inherited from generation to generation. The difference is that they have different pupils from ordinary people, women with pure blood will have a pair of purple pupils, and men with pure blood will have a pair of blue pupils. ”

The British Duke looked at Yuan Wanyin, his eyes were no longer full of familiar pity, but serious and serious, "Child, you are not my biological child, your mother is not my wife Bai Huilin, and it is not your titular biological mother Wang Juan." Your mother is the holy daughter of this tribe. Liuyun was the most prestigious beauty in the world back then, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, ordering tea and making fragrant herbs, and was also a leader. I met her by chance, I was blown away by her beauty, and to be honest, I did want to be with her before I met Hui Lin, but she had no intention of me and rejected me. I regret it in my heart, and I don't force it, I can't be a husband and wife, it's good to be friends. So, Liuyun and I became brothers and sisters with different surnames, and from then on, I vowed to be better to her than anyone else, and swore to protect her to the death. Outcome...... Outcome...... Hey......"

Ignoring Yuan Wanyin's shocked expression, the British Duke continued: "Your mother Liuyun has a weak appearance, but she would rather bend than bend, she is so beautiful and has unique skills, she has attracted the covetousness of people with hearts. Your mother didn't like him and rejected him repeatedly, but unexpectedly, the other party became angry and forcibly abducted your mother. Although Liuyun escaped later, she was found to be pregnant soon after. She insisted on giving birth to a child, which angered her tribe, she was born in the first tribe of Wangxia Valley, the Xuanji tribe, and the holy daughter of the Xuanji tribe could only conceive the next generation with the holy son of the Xuanji tribe for generations. Liuyun refused to explain who your father was, was placed under house arrest by the elders of the Xuanji clan, and forcibly asked for a slippery fetus, she was unwilling, desperately avoided the guards, and gave birth to a baby girl, the child was born without a mother, the mother exchanged her life for the survival of the child, and was calculated for a short time, so she could only exchange her life for a life. Later, this child came to Daqin, became the daughter of the British government, and became my child. ”

Speaking of this, the British Duke already had a complicated expression, "Wan Yin, your name is Liuyunqi, she said that you are her late gift, she likes you very much, and she does not regret giving birth to you." The Holy Maiden of the Xuanji Clan, the one you should always remember for the rest of your life. ”

"......" Yuan Wanyin cried silently.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the truth was so cruel. She is not the daughter of her father, but it is not easy for her mother.

"The blood of the Holy Maiden of the Xuanji Clan has the effect of restoring and immortalizing, and it was only back then that she was taken away by careerists. Who is your father, Liuyun didn't tell me, I can't tell. ”

After the British Duke revealed the secrets and dishes that had been suppressed in his heart for many years, he did not feel relaxed at all.

The Xuanji clan is a very powerful tribe, Liuyun resisted to the death, and was still shattered, what could Yuan Wanyin do?

Yuan Wanyin's mouth opened, and she wanted to ask where the cemetery of Gongliuyun in England was.

"Liuyun was very young when she died, she didn't have a cemetery, and even I couldn't find where her body was, but I was asked to take care of you." This is where the British public is puzzled, saying that Liuyun died, so why did the Xuanji clan not bury her?

Could it be that there is something wrong?

Yuan Wanyin was stimulated so much tonight that her head was blank, her ears were buzzing, and she was unable to speak at all.

The British Duke continued: "As for your father, I asked someone to investigate, and it may be the one who captured your mother back then." As for why Liuyun is reluctant to say it, I don't understand. I think you should be able to find out if the mother and daughter are connected. I concealed this truth for twenty-three years, and Hui Lin misunderstood me at first, wanting to reconcile with me, and didn't want to live on, but I kept her again and again, and I also suggested that she was willing to stay after her parents had someone else. Wanyin, don't blame me for not talking about it, once the Xuanji clan finds you, you will be the second Liuyun. ”

Liuyun had a marriage contract back then, that is, Qisheng, the holy son of the Xuanji clan, Qisheng loved Liuyun and couldn't extricate himself, and he was angry at Liuyun's "betrayal", and he was the one who ordered Liuyun to be placed under house arrest.

Yuan Wanyin asked: "Dad, I don't blame you, I'm thinking, what does my mother think?" ”

Liuyun has always refused to say the identity of his biological father, is he bitter or unwilling to be found by the Xuanji clan?

Yuan Wanyin was confused, and for the time being, she couldn't figure out how deep the water was.

Liuyun is a strong and persistent character, she recognizes one thing old, one person, and will not change. I think she loves your father. ”

The British public sighed quietly.

Liuyun has a temperament, loves deeply, and hates deeply, and the more she pushes her, the more unwilling she is to do it.

Yuan Wanyin was silent.

"Wan Yin, it's better not to talk about your life history for the time being, if the child is missing, I'm worried that the Xuanji clan will come to the door."

The British Duke rubbed his eyebrows. Liu Shishu didn't like his daughter, so he took her away, either threatening Yuan Wanyin not to act rashly, or it was profitable.

Yuan Wanyin's eyes widened, "Liu Shishu him...... Damn it! ”

Selling women for glory is not as good as animals.

"It's just speculation, not serious."

The British Duke took out a wooden box from the inner cabinet, and this wooden box contained the relics of Liuyun.

"Everything in the clouds is here."
